11.) “…but I am a blasted tree the bolt has entered my soul…” (Shelley 174)
Shelley is using this as a way to describe the human body when stricken by a blow of depression, once you have experienced it a part of you has been changed forever, much like when a tree is struck by lightening, there is always permanent damage. Victor is enduring the pain and suffering of his own doing, his creature is the lightning, and he has entered his life, causing it to be forever changed.
